life, death, love and other forms of poetry by alcoholic poet

one pupil small. the other one large. dark and light each the same. the howl. slipknot strangulation. the sputter. partial hangings. toxic gas. the realization. powerless. surviving god by nickels and broomsticks.

calculating the distance between strangers and sex. in ratios of carbon to oxygen atoms. the obtuse science of faces wasting so much beautiful skin. one eye opened. the other closed. near and far each the same.
